Gloria – Making Music Malta International Music Festival

Gloria – Making Music Malta International Music Festival is back with its 3rd edition, organised by Making Music Malta, St. Lazarus Foundation in aid of L-Istrina and the Richmond Foundation.

The Gloria-Making Music Malta International Music Festival will include national and international and talented soloists from Malta, UK, Isle of Man, Australia and China as well as 50 strong North West Festival Choir and 45 strong Chorus Urbanus to keep the public entertained.

The pianist for the festival will once again be the well-known Kevin Thraves. Several other international performers will attend the music festival and the main performance pieces are the Messa di Gloria by Giacomo Puccini, the Gloria in D Major of Antonio Vivaldi and Ego sum Panis Vivus by John Galea. The choirs will be conducted by Dr John Bethell and Dr John Galea, an artisitic tandem that has strenghtened friendship and yielded fruitful outcomes between the two choirs during the past two editions.

The Gozo performance will take place at the parish church of San Lawrenz, on Thursday, the 13th of October. This event is being co-ordinated by Mr Alexis Callus and the San Lawrenz Mayor, Noel Formosa.

There is free entrance to all the performances and everyone is invited to attend and enjoy the fantastic music of the Gloria Making Music Festival.
